Bush]]'s state of the Union address.
In the [[2008 Presidential Election]], Kaine was frequently rumored to be on Democratic nominee [[Barack Obama]]'s Vice Presidential short list. However, Obama selected Senator [[Joseph Biden]] of [[Delaware]] instead. Kaine said that Joe Biden would help Obama win Virginia, saying, "Joe comes from the state Delaware that borders Virginia, the eastern shore part of Virginia and Delaware are not only bordering but very similar."<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QV-mB3Wjuqs</ref>This is factually inaccurate, in that Delaware does not border Virginia.
